[7.0] "Main Event delivered one of the most balanced, easy-watching taped cards WWE has put together in months. Giving four full matches room to breathe made the show feel like a legitimate wrestling program rather than an afterthought. The workrate carried the middle stretch, especially with Nathan Frazer and Ricky Saints setting a relentless pace. Tying in real narrative beats, like Bayley's interference in the Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria bout, added genuine stakes that rewarded anyone tuning in. Tight pacing, zero filler segments, and crisp ring action from bell to bell make this an easy recommendation to throw on."

[6.0] "A pretty solid debut for this era of Main Event. There is an attempt to give the show some more starpower bringing a feud from Raw to the show as well as a pre-taped promo from Gunther. Three of the four matches were pretty entertaining as the Raw/Smackdown recaps work to continue to build what is happening on those shows. The show does have more of a feeling of importance with this episode even if the 20-30 minute easy format was effective in its own ways."

[7.0] "Very good work for the new era on Rumble. But I hope they don't fumble this after some good shows and we see Rumble as a crossover show between two main shows. And it's good to bring it back to 1hr show. Matches were solid and hot."

[7.0] "Good episode, we've returned to having recaps which is fine, a good selection of matches, awesome that we've got 4 this time instead of the usual 2-3. Interesting to see what Main Event will bring with the new home on Rumble which is also bringing a new logo after so many years of the old one. Overall I'm excited for Main Event's future and what this new deal can bring, hopefully more quality and long episodes with plenty of matches like this one!"

[7.0] "A good start to the new era of Main Event on Rumble. We are back to getting Raw and Smackdown recaps on the show and even get angles incorporated into matches and the odd backstage interview now as well as the usual smattering of dark matches."
